At present, USICT is better than IIIT Kota. However, make the proper choice and choose the right one for you.
Whenever in doubt, always choose CSE over Metallurgy. Currently, CSE has a high demand. Back when a friend of mine was in his college, he mentioned how everyone went for MNIT blindly.
Back then, MNIT used to carry out classes of IIIT Kota. But currently, it is of no use! Even if you have to choose any college in the future, the streams Metallurgy and CS are likely to confuse you.
Just go for CS as Computer Science. As mentioned, it is in great demand and is better than Metallurgy. CS happens to secure your employment opportunities for the future. I also would not say that the placements are very bad if you go for MNIT, Metallurgy, the placements are fine, but not something that catches the eye, simultaneously. There is no tag of NIT here.
Among the above two institutes, IIIT Kota is a definite choice, which is without doubt surpassing PICT Pune by all means of judgment. The points below give a brief overview of both the institutes that will support the choice with a lot of valid reasons.
It is obvious that IIIT Kota is a clear winner among the two. But, there are fake reviews from consultants over the internet supporting these institutes, which students should avoid looking after.
BITS Hyderabad will be better for a Mechanical degree. IIIT Kota, don't even have their own campus, while BITS Hyderabad is over 10 years established.
I have friends at both BITS Hyderabad and IIIT Kota and based on what I herald through them, I will suggest that you choose BITS for your Mechanical Degree.
I have got a few of my friends studying in new IIITs. Based on their experience, I am mentioning some factors which are worth noting.
IIIT Lucknow and Kota are more or less the same. However, IIIT Lucknow is not at the same level as IIIT Allahabad, and can not surpass other reputed IIITs in just few years.
Regarding worthy of money, yes they are good indeed. An institute should provide good education, good campus life, and good prospect. New IIITs like Kota and Lucknow, for now, can only provide good education and good prospect but not good campus life and facilities.

IIITs are good institutes better than many NITs and private colleges. Some of them have very good placements too but regarding the worth of money in terms of placements maybe but in terms of facilities or campus life it is a clear no.
If you’re looking for good campus life too then, in a similar cut off you can consider Gwalior(IT) or Jabalpur (CSD) or you can look for mediocre NITs.
Among the above two institutes, CSE at IIIT Kota is a good option, considering the placement statistics of the institute. The table below gives a brief level of comparison of both the institutes, specific to the branch of CSE.

So, considering the placements and curriculum into account, IIIT Kota is a better choice for Computer Science and Engineering.
I have a few friends from both institutes and based on what I heard from them I will suggest that you choose BIT Mesra IT over IIIT Kota for the CS branch.
The placement statistics of BIT Mesra are as follows.
Highest CTC offered |
INR 49.76 LPA. |

Hope this helps.
